New Green & Red Flag Safety System
Green Flag: Safe to Jump
- ✅ Pool has adequate space for safe jumping from designated areas.
- ✅ Lifeguards actively supervise but jumping is permitted.
- ✅ Soft floats and soft balls are allowed.
Red Flag: Caution – Too Crowded
- ⛔ No jumping from poolside (Diving Board is permitted).
